Simply Moderne Issue #2 Give Away


Give Away Closed! Thanks for playing!!


The folks at Simply Moderne offered me a free subscription for the first year if I would review the magazine on my blog. Well, I can honestly say, this magazine has me more excited than any other magazine I can remember in a long time. Maybe ever. It would be a close tie with Quiltmania (which is published by the same folks!)

This issue features some amazing quilts from the Sydney Quilt show including the Red and White Quilt by Rachael over at Blue Mountain Daisy.

Isn't this quilt by Wendy Williams gorgeous? It's on page 13.


I loved the first issue so much that I couldn't wait for the second issue to arrive in the mail. Therefore, I now have two copies of this issue, so the only reasonable thing for me to do is have a give away! Don't you agree? I will mail this issue to a randomly chosen winner next Tuesday. So you have all weekend to enter the give away. Just leave a comment telling me your favorite thing about quilt magazines. Or just leave a comment telling me which magazine is your favorite. Or just say something nice. :)

Good luck and have a great weekend!
Diane

  2. Have not really gotten into Simply Moderne yet. I think I've slipped into a Traditional Quilting phase. That doesn't mean I can't turn on a dime! Quiltmania is my all-time favorite quilting magazine!

  29. Sometimes you don't have time to sew, but looking in a magazine can be a small substitute - "Oh, I'd like to make that, and that, and that" :-)
